Today was a busy day - laundry, ironing, house cleaning, cutting the material to make bedroom curtains, making TWO dinners. It's been very pleasant to feel relaxed while I get things done. School starts up again next week Saturday. Gotta get things done while I can...
About those dinners; I had leftover ham from Christmas (it had been frozen and brought out again) so I made 
White Beans and Ham Soup. This will go in the freezer for some future dinner. The other dinner was an easy chicken casserole recipe that I have to share. It's incredibly easy and very tasty.
I started with a store-bought roasted chicken. Everything else either came from a bag, can, or bottle. I realize that this isn't home cooking but it's quick to make and very yummy.
